ANN ARBOR -- Michigan offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has signed a three-year contract with the university worth at least $2.57 million over the duration of the deal.

The university, after a Freedom of Information Act request from MLive and other outlets, released the employment contract for Nussmeier on Tuesday.

Nussmeier's three-year contract will pay him at least $830,000 in 2014, and is worth at least $2.57 million over the duration of the deal -- which expires Jan. 31, 2017.

Per the USA Today assistant coach database, Nussmeier's 2014 salary would rank him No. 6 nationally. Current Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison ranked fourth on that list -- making $851,400 a year ago.

Michigan hired Nussmeier in January after firing former offensive coordinator Al Borges, who was paid $650,000 by Michigan a year ago.

Nussmeier made $681,500 last season at Alabama.

Nussmeier's base salary at Michigan will be $280,000 in 2014, $310,000 in 2015 and $330,000 in 2016. He will receive an additional $550,000 in "additional compensation" for each year of that deal -- meaning he'll make $830,000 in 2014, $860,000 in 2015 and $880,000 in 2016.

Those numbers have a chance to increase if Nussmeier completes the full three years of his deal, as he'll receive a one-time "stay bonus" of $200,000.

As far as yearly bonus money is concerned, Nussmeier will receive an additional $25,000 for any bowl game Michigan qualifies for, $40,000 for a Capital One or Outback Bowl appearance, $100,000 for a Big Ten title game appearance and $150,000 for winning the Big Ten title game.

Per the contract, Michigan has the right to terminate Nussmeier at any point during the deal. The buyout for firing Nussmeier before the completion of the deal will be the equivalent of that year's salary.

Michigan also reserves the right to terminate Nussmeier's contract "in the event that Coach (Brady) Hoke is no longer employed as the Head Men's Football Coach. In the event that Coach Hoke is no longer employed as the Head Men's Football Coach for whatever reason the University shall be entitled to terminate (Nussmeier's) employment."

Nussmeier has the right to terminate this contract on his own prior to the end of the agreed deal by giving the university 30 days "advance written notice." If he gives said notice, Nussmeier will not be responsible for paying back any part of his deal to Michigan.
